Find Lactation Consultant Jobs in Silver Spring, MD

Postpartum/night doula who is familiar with Chinese/Asian postpartum practices.

I’m really nervous about labor and delivery. I want an epidural and am good with medical intervention. I’m nervous that my husband won’t be calm during the birthing process. I need someone who can help me be calm through it and help coach my husband through it. I also am nervous about being very vulnerable during birth and consent is very important for me and want to make sure I feel comfortable and not taken advantage of. Giving birth at Sibley I’m also very nervous about postpartum. This is my first pregnancy

I need a lactation consultant. I am having issue with baby’s latch

5 week old with reflux I think he may have a shallow latch sore nipples

my baby is 5 days old, will latch good sometimes, sometimes won’t latch at all, especially at night. feeds can be super short sometimes and she will unlatch herself

I need a birth doula for sure. I plan to give birth at Sibley hospital in DC. Budget is negotiable, although I'd like to stay under $2,000 if possible. I would like someone with at least 5 years' experience. I'm a 46-year-old first-time mom. My insurance provider is Carefirst BCBS. Doulas are a covered benefit. I have a BluePreferred PPO plan. I'd also like information about lactation consultants and night nannies. Thank you!

Would love in-home visits in November. Especially help with breast feeding.

First baby, hospital birth at Georgetown. Would like to labor naturally as long as possible but I am not totally against pain relief. Would love a doula who can support me in different positioning, hip squeezes etc and help me exercise my full agency during birth. It’s important to me to find someone who is a blend of holistic care and Western medicine. We’d also love for our doula to help us a bit after birth with postpartum and newborn care. Tri-Care East (Humana military) will cover the six hours worth of visits + one untimed visit for birth so we need someone who is a participant with them. After that our budget for postpartum/newborn support is $1,000 but we are open to discussing that further.

I’m not totally sure so starting there would be great. I know that I want to work with someone that takes insurance (BCBS).

Giving birth in a hospital - looking for someone who can provide birth support, lactation consulting, and post-partum support if possible.

6 days old with a shallow latch and painful feeds for the most part. Seen by pediatrician and thought to have a tongue tie. Just really trying to get a good deep latch to prevent painful feeds.

Hello, I am interested in receiving support for my daughter’s latch. She is my second breastfed baby; she has a tongue tie we have been able to get her latch to where she is no longer causing me pain. However she is sucking in a lot of air while she nurses and it is causing her discomfort later with gas and burps I can’t get out of her.

Basic lactation consultant that accepts Tricare Select, preferably in home. Current challenges are getting a deep and consistent latch

I have a 11 week old that is having trouble with a weak latch ok the breast and weak oral function. She’s had a tongue tie release at 5 weeks. I also have low milk supply and have tried it all to try to increase it. I would like to still give breastfeeding and pumping a shot as long as I’m able to, with hopes of improving her latch.

I gave birth to my beautiful first child, Margeaux, four days ago. We worked with a lactation specialist in the hospital and she seemed to be doing well and making wet and soiled diapers for two days before discharge. Since then, she has only produced 1 wet diaper a day and her feedings have become very painful for me, especially when constantly pursued over night. I am unable to sleep and my child refuses to sleep anywhere but on me and when she is awake she only wants my nipple. I worry my body is not producing enough colostrum. She is losing weight but the pediatritian told me to not supplement with formula and to always allow my child access to my nipples. Feeling very defeated and could use help. I have BluCross Blue Shield, but willling to pay out of pocket. In person visit or virtual visit is preferred. Please help. Alex
